[Verse 1]
Dante came back hard
Dust in his teeth
Afghanistan wind
Still cut in his sleeve
Iraq in his bones
Names in the sand
He learned how to live
With a rifle in hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Then he got home
And the night got mean
A bullet in the dark
Took the air from his lungs
His heart kept swinging
Under the gun
[Chorus]
He won't die
He won't die
Dante won't die
And they know why
Demons crawl
Devils run
When Dante stands
When Dante stands
[Verse 2]
His brother hit the floor
By a piece of trash
One dumb act
Left a hole too fast
He buried that rage
Deep in his chest
Said, "Try me again"
And he meant the rest
[Pre-Chorus]
Black smoke at the door
Cold hands in the hall
Every ugly voice
Wants to see him fall
But he bites back hard
Through the wreckage and loss
Every scar on his skin
Is a line he crossed
[Chorus]
He won't die
He won't die
Dante won't die
And they know why
Demons crawl
Devils run
When Dante stands
When Dante stands
[Bridge]
Let them come
With their chains and lies
He’s already buried
A hundred goodbyes
Steel in his stare
Fire in his name
If hell wants a war
It can learn his pain
[Breakdown]
Get back
Get back
He’s still here
Blood in the dust
But he sees clear
Get back
Get back
You can’t claim him
Dante stands
And they fear him
[Final Chorus]
He won't die
He won't die
Dante won't die
And they know why
Demons crawl
Devils run
When Dante stands
When Dante stands
He won't die
He won't die
Dante won't die
